Summary: A True Hero!
Review: Being from the midwest I had heard about John Thompson.
Well really who did not hear about this awful accident.
I had no idea he had written a book, until I went to
the gift shop at North Memorial and had been a patient
there. Right on the counter was his book. Bought it,
read it in 2 days. It is hard to take at times as he
mentions the operations etc. You relize what he went
through beyond the spotlights. And it was not nice at
times, but he held on. What was so sad when his dog
died, Tuffy was the one who licked his face when his
arms were torn off and awoke him. Tuffy was his hero.
John is a hero and will always be a hero in my heart. Also
he had signed the book!

Summary: I learned about courage
Review: For a period of a few months ten years ago, just about everyone knew who John Thompson was - his accident was front page news. His book relates not only how he coped with the loss and subsequent reattachment of his arms, but also how he dealt with the publicity that followed and how he came to terms with having his life changed forever.

Summary: A Touching Story
Review: I was living far from North Dakota when the news about John Thompson's accident became national news ten years ago. Like many, I was struck by John's courage and the inspiration it brought to all who heard it. Many of us wonder how we would deal with a traumatic accident like this to ourselves or to a loved one. John Thompson's book honestly tells us the story behind the headlines and how he has struggled to overcome both the physical and emotional challenges this accident brought him. As difficult as this must have been for him to write, he has given a gift to anyone who has survived a similar ordeal. His story is a must-read. Once I started, I couldn't put the book down!

Summary: This one you don't want to miss!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: Normally this is something I wouldn't pick up and read it's not my thing. But I did pick it up out of curiosity and read a page or two out of the midsection. That made me go back to the beginning and read it in total from the beginning. It's great! Well written and a very compelling story. Pick it up you won't regret it.
